Sellal: I am Chaoui and not spiteful

Algerian Prime Minister Tuesday said he is not resentful and he considers himself as Chaoui, Berber, Targui and Amazigh. “My heart has only good feelings for every Algerian,” he said in response to criticism against his remarks concerning Chaoui people.

Sellal who runs Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s electoral campaign called on Algerian businessmen to support institutional stability to improve the Algerian economy situation among emerging economies within the next five years.

He presented Bouteflika’s economic program to members of the Forum of Enterprise Chiefs.

He said Algeria needs stability to implement economic, social and political plans and build a power to protect borders.

“The State is ready to help you, support real production and diversify economy. Algeria is not ready to miss the big opportunity of developing nanotechnology and petrochemisty,” he said.
